SOUTH BATTERY
There are walking paths within a stone's throw from the fortress. Stroll along on white limestone bordered by the sea and fields full of rich bird life.
BUNGENÄS LIMESTONE QUARRY
The water is not as turquoise as the Blue Lagoon, but the experience is at least just as grand. The limestone quarry is located in the middle of the Bungenäs nature reserve, which among other things consists of really old coniferous forest with a level of conservation. The reserve extends down to the irresistibly beautiful and open beach land.
Fårö
Straight across the sound lies the small island with its great drama; just ask Bergman. In addition to fantastic nature and beaches, you will find a lot of cafés and restaurants that make it a worthy detour. Don't miss Kuten's creperie.
